Thank you so much for your entry. And congratulations on being one of the semi-finalists. It was a very enjoyable story.
Some lovely news - my short story "Lashings of Tea" was one of 14 semi-finalists from 543 entries received by @BookCollectoruk - such fun, writing a story about a banquet attended by literary figures/characters. Take a bow Enid Blyton, E Nesbit, Billy Bunter and Arthur Ransome.
